Oh well, I just pushed a patch to patch that patch. I made Cygwin treat message queues as devices, but that was apparently over the top. I reverted this to being treated as files again and just made sure the check for being "anything with a representation on disk" is positive. That in turn convinces unlink() to try removing them. Please test cygwin-3.6.0-0.345.gb940faa144ca, which should be up in an hour or so.
